Pesticide Residue Testing
We offer cost-effective multi-residue pesticide screening in various food and flower samples, utilizing state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS equipment, highly trained staff, and high-quality scientific standards. Our pesticide screening is ISO 17025-accredited and contains over 200 pesticide compounds. Our modern analytical techniques and instrumentation allow us to detect the majority of these compounds down to 0.01 ppm levels.
We incorporate the use of modern methods like “QuEChERS” and other standard methods from AOAC to test a variety of samples
TESTING ITEMS
For precise testing of individual pesticide types, we offer specialized residue analysis in the following categories:
- Organochloride Residues (OC)
Detect residues of organochlorine pesticides in food, supplements, and other products. - Organophosphate Residues (OP)
Testing for organophosphate pesticides, often used in agriculture. - Organonitrogen Residues (ON)
Includes testing for organonitrogen pesticides commonly used for crop protection. - N-Methyl Carbamate Residues (MC)
Detects residues from N-Methyl Carbamate pesticides that can be harmful if present in high concentrations. - PCB’s (Polychlorinated Biphenyls)
For detecting polychlorinated biphenyls, a group of industrial chemicals that may be found in food products. - Procymidone Residues
Specialized testing for Procymidone, a fungicide used in agriculture. - EBDC Residues by PAM II (Maneb/Mancozeb)
Tests for EBDC residues, using a colorimetric carbon disulfide evolution method. - Benomyl (Carbendazim, MBC) Residues by Immunoassay
Immunoassay-based testing for Benomyl residues, a fungicide often found in produce. - Spinosad / Success Residues by Immunoassay
Testing for Spinosad residues, an insecticide widely used in agriculture.
GC-MS Residue Confirmations
For confirming pesticide residues, we offer GC-MS Residue Confirmations, providing a high level of accuracy for trace pesticide detection.
Additionally, we can provide single residue analyses for compounds such as Glyphosate, Melamine, Cyanuric Acid, and various Mycotoxins.
